    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    thats crazy...... Maybe fore you go much further put a "run out gauge" (think that is proper term/tool) on the block and dial it to your crank end. slowly turn it and see if it turns w/out micro wobble? Or maybe just to check if the end of the crank is not milled funky.... that is such a...

    CTIS controller printed circuit repair?

    so was the whole green panel portion suppose to come out along with the keypad? how did you end up getting the rest out? Curious; in part, cause myself and others have a new keypad to put in.. and don't want to run into same issue.

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    also quoting someone's post is more liable to get their attention. or better yet in this cause just use @ before their name and it will bring up a box to select a member and do this @RandomThinker / @Plasa

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    to avoid scammers going nuts the second after they find their way onto the a discussion board .... often sites have minimal number of post required before a new member can do certain actions... such as post pictures..... and PMing people you will likely have Pm privileges soon

    First step. Go to first page of this steel soldiers discussion board..... then to the TM forum. and get all the manuals for this truck. Being a 98, especially if it has the 3116 engine.... then this is what is considered an A0 truck.

    IMHO..... when one has questions that are more about the truck than the RV side.... suggest they be asked in the matching military SS truck forum where there are more gear heads. Also, and most importantly IMHO, it sorta compartmentalizes the information and helps others searching for stuff...
